SPECIFICATION forming part of lLetters Patent o. r780,535, dated January24, 1905.

'Y i Application filed October 6, 1903. Serial. No. 175,960.

T a/ZZ whom it may concern:

l scription of the invention, such as will enable others skiiled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in i condensers; and the objectin view is to provide a condenser with an inner and an outer coolingchamber or casing.

Another object of the invention is to provide means connected with saidinner and outer casing for controlling the supply of cooling liquidsthereto.

A further object of the invention is to provide an inner cooling-casingwith aroughened or bulged surface.

With these and'further objects in view the invention consists in certainnovel construetions, combinations, and arrangements of parts, as will behereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side view of myinvention, showing parts thereof in section. Fig. 2 represents anotherembodiment of my invention,showing parts in vertical section.

Referring to the drawings by reference-numerals, 1 designates acylindrical outercasing which is provided with a supply-pipe 2incommunication therewith. Upon said supplypipe 2 a suitable valve 3 ismounted. A discharge-pipe 1 is attached to said casing 1 near .its upperend. The inner cooling-casing 5 is detachably secured within a cylindriccasing 6, said casing tbeing removably mounted within .the outercasing 1. The inner casing 5 is preferably formed-with-apluralityof.cor-

rugations 7.\ Said corrugatioris are of lessv suitable stufiing-box 11;At the opposite end of said casing 6 is also mounted a duplicatestuiiing-box 12. By means of these stuiiingboXes the innercooling-chamber 5 is securely tachably secured to casing 6 by clamps 19,to

the vapor-space formed between casings 6 and 5.

In constructing this invention I also provide a suitabledischarge-receptacle 20, which is provided with an inclined partition21. An Voutlet-pipe 22 is secured to said receptacle 2O and communicateswith one of the partitioned compartments. communicate with the boiler,and thereby provide means for conducting part of the discharged liquidsto said boiler for the utilization of the same. Another pipe,23, issecured to said discharge-receptacle 22 and is preferably forrned ofgreater diameter thanthe discharge-pipe 22. By this construction it willbe apparent that a greater volume'of liquids may be passed through saidpipe 23 than through pipe 22, said pipe 23 communicating with anysuitable waste-receptacle. By means of valves 3 and 9 the discharge ofthe cooling liquidsto said discharge-receptacle 2() is controlled. Ifthe liquids contained in the partitioned portion of the receptacle 20,which is in communication with discharge-pipe 22, are not removed fromthe said partitioned por- The pipe 22 is adapted to tion, the liquidstherein may overflow into the i ingthis packing and removably mountedwithin the members 25 and 26 is also an annular ring 28, which isadapted to normally press against the packing 27 and produce a certainfunction in constructing the invention, as will be hereinafterdescribed. Secured to said casing 24 is a suitable discharge-pipe 29,which communicates with a discharge-receptacle 30. The upper portion ofsaid casing 24 is provided with a removable cap or member 31, saidmember being detachably secured by suitable means within the primaryportion of the casing 24. A dividing-wall 32 is formed integral withsaid member 31, and by means thereoi:I and a removable annular member 33a suitable packing is detachably secured within said casing 24. Formedintegral with said member 31 of the casing 24 is a duplicate partition34, which is secured in a parallel position with the partition 32. Aremovable cap or member 35 is secured upon the outer ends of the member31 of the casing 24. Within a compartment formed by means ot' thepartition 34 and the cap 35 an annular hollow casing 36 is detachablysecured. Between the cap 35 and the partition 34 is a pair of removablepackings 37. Formed integral with the member 31 is a casing 38, which isadapted to cond uct the vapors from a suitable boiler to the condenser.Removably mounted within said sectional outer casing 24 is a cylindricalcasing 39. Said casing 39 is provided with a funnel-shaped lowerportion, which communicates with a conducting-pipe 40 for carrying thecondensed vapors to a suitable receiving-receptacle.

It will be obvious that the casing 39, forming the inner wall of theouter cooling-receptacle and the outer wall of the vaporizingchamber, isdetachably secured in a iixed position by means of the packing 27retained within the casing 24, and also the packing retained, by meansotl the removable collar 33, within the lower portion of the part 31,which is detachably secured to the outer casing 24. Removably mountedwithin the casing 39 by means or' the packing and the clamping memberstherefor is an inner receptacle 41. This receptacle 41, as well ascasing 39, is formed from any suitable non -corrodible material, such asglass, and is provided with a removable cap 42. Upon this cap 42 isdetachably secured a supply-pipe 43, which extends within saidreceptacle 41 and terminates near the bottom thereof. Said supply-pipe43 is provided with a valve 44, which controls the flow of the supply ofcooling liquids to the inner receptacle 41. A suitable discharge-pipe 45'is also attached to said cap 42 and communicates with any suitabledischarge-receptacle. In this embodiment of the invention I preferablyJform theinner cooling-receptacle 41 with a plurality of bulgingportions 46L. In this embodiment the cooling liquids are passed throughthe supply-pipe 43 and are discharged near the bottom of the innercasing 4l, passing upward and out through the pipe 45.

rlhe vapors are supplied by means ol the conducting-pipes 18 and 38 tothe condensingchambers or vapor-spaces 46, and owing to thepeculiarconstruction of the inner coolingcasing the vapors will come incontact with the outer surface ot' said casing, and before they pass outthrough the conducting-pipes 8 and 4() they will be condensed. 'lhediameter of the lower portion ot' the inner cooling-casing is of suchextent that the lower portion thereof terminates near the walls of thecasing forming the inner part of the outer cooling-chamber.
